You should do well with this setup.

I would not go with 5 Star though. I had them first as did several other members... and they don’t know how to tune the transmission and their power falls off in the upper RPM range.

MPT is a better tune.


The downpipes and SPD adapters will sound better for you with the stock catbacks. They won’t add any significant horsepower unfortunately. The CAI, downpipes and SPD adapters will be lucky to net you 15.

The tune is your real gain.

... and, the MPT Salesforce has arrived.

Their tune also randomly dropped me into limp mode too.

They may have worked all these issues out, but if they did... I don’t know it.

They are very nice folks and I liked them, but the tune wasn’t ready for prime time.

MPT blew away every expectation I had.

Details please...

Which exhaust? MBRP, aFe?

Which larger IC? drop in replacement like aFe or a relocation?

Catted or offroad downpipes? did you stick with aFe?

Which CAI? aFe Momentum XP Pro? how'd you decide?

UPR oil catch can? how often do you need to drain it?

Five Star tune I assume. Do you have before and after info?

How did your exhaust sound change?

Borla, Afe dp, Afe momentum cai, wagoner ic, Catch can empty around every second oil change I’m told, bud I could be wrong though, oh and with the Borla you need to get the H pipe also, sounds like crap with x pipe, I don’t have any dyno chart rte now

I have the Afe dp, with dp the Borla needs the H pipe,

Surprised you went with the Wagner IC. They don’t really have that great of a track record.

Only time will tell I guess, I hope it holds up, if not I will swap it out. It is really big that’s for sure

5 star made changes to the tune they told me, power doesn’t drop off anymore and it shifts better than stock to me so far. I’m running 93 performance tune rte now and whoaa she is quick. I will give it more drive time before I say it’s golden or anything but so far it really feels great just has so much power now, oh and it’s wee bit louder. I’m gonna drop truck off with 5 stars tuner for couple days in a month or so to really turn it up all way
